I am really torn up by this hurricane disaster. I just feel so guilty for living my normal life when so many people aren't living theirs. When 9/11 happened our whole world stopped. There were at least three days where we didn't really have classes, and I spent all my time out of class in prayer at the church. We didn't talk about anything else, nothing else mattered. And yet now, when something equally devastating happens, my world hasn't even quivered. If I want to talk about it I have to bring it up. And then people just seem annoyed. Peoples homes are ruined. What were once families are now only bodies in a boarded up attic. And how do people respond? By looting the town. What has happened to our world? I'm not blaming most those people, I know they are looting looking for food. But others are taking flat screen TVs. And they have film of the cops arresting these looters, and it just all confuses me so much. I'm sorry. I know I'm not making much sense. I'm just lost in my head, and I know I need to just pray for a while, but I'm afraid if I start praying I'll just get angry at God.
"The absence of God will you bring you comfort."
That was just the line in the song I'm listening to, and it seems so right. It would be comforting in this case because I don't have to ask why. 9/11 I could blame on people. I didn't have to ask God why. I was too distracted with my own problems (no electric) the week the tsunami hit to ask then. I was too distracted to get really distraught over that, another thing I feel guilty for now. But now I'm asking, "God, why do these things happen? And why are we responding in this way?" We don't care. We are not united to help the situation.
God, I pray for all those people affected by this. I'm not sure why these devestations happen. I know our world is flawed and therefore these thing occur. God please help us to unite and make this as positive a situation as it can be. God I pray for all those still affected by the tsunami. Please bless them with everything they need to rebuild their lives, Lord. I'm sure that even after nine months there is still a lot of rebuilding to do. God I pray that all those who have lost someone, whether it be from either of these tragedies, health problems, old age, or any other reason. It must be difficult to rebuild one's life with someone they loved missing from it. Thank you God. Please bring peace of mind to our world, but more importantly, peace of our hearts.
